One year Year in Ecuador with VASE

I'm doing a volunteer year with VASE Fundación in Ecuador, Otavalo. Together with four other Volunteers I work in a Sub-Project, Cielo Azul, in the andean region. We teach each at two schools in the indigenous communitys. The work includes giving english & art classes and helping the teachers where it's needed. During the week we live in a host family and also in an apartment in Otavalo with all the volunteers together. The work is very nice and you can see the positive room for impact you can have on the children.
VASE is always there for support when it's needed and they have created a very nice and social environment where you feel taken seriously and where's always someone you can ask for advice of any kind. I'm very happy with my stay here and with VASEs work and would recommend to anyone, who seeks out to meet new cultures and wants to explore the beautiful country that is Ecuador, to do their volunteer year with VASE.
